Hyde Park Mouldings

What Hyde Park Mouldings does

Hyde Park Mouldings, Inc. is a privately held, New York-based custom architectural plasterwork firm operating a 30,000-square-foot workshop in Hauppauge, NY, which the company describes as the largest full-service plaster workshop in North America. The company designs, fabricates, and installs decorative plaster mouldings, ceiling medallions, columns, capitals, pilasters, fire surrounds, decorative traceries, and bespoke sculptural elements for architects, designers, and end-clients across the U.S. and internationally. Its offering spans two production methods: traditional fibrous plaster casting (clay modeling, rubber moulds, plaster casting) and Glass Fiber Reinforced Gypsum (GFRG), which uses precision-calcined alpha gypsum, liquid polymers, and engineered glass fibers for lighter, stronger architectural elements.

The company's revenue model is project-based and quote-driven, with no public pricing and no direct-to-consumer channel. The majority of revenue is generated through fully custom commissions developed in collaboration with architects and designers from concept through installation, supplemented by sales of standard catalogue products (the largest standard mould collection in North America) and a small stream of paid educational presentations to A&D professionals. Distribution is exclusively direct: Hyde Park supplies its own trained installation teams for most projects and supports specification via CAD files, SketchUp 3D Warehouse models, and technical documents.

Hyde Park serves four primary segments — architects/designers (the persona-level buyer), high-end residential, institutional and commercial (hotels, museums, government buildings), and luxury retail — with a marquee customer list including The Pierre, Plaza Hotel, St. Regis NYC, The White House, Moynihan Train Hall, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the New York Historical Society, Cartier, Ralph Lauren, and the Edward M. Kennedy Institute. The firm has earned multiple ICAA awards including the 2021 Arthur Ross Award for Artisanship & Craftsmanship. The company is privately held with no disclosed outside investment and operates with a team of over 100 designers, artisans, plasterers, installers, and project managers.
